There are certain not-so-awesome phases everyone (yes, even celebs!) go through after a break up, but these tips can make getting through them easier.

The "But Everything Was So Perfect" Stage

The "But Everything Was So Perfect" Stage

Even if your friends insist it was a long-time coming, when you're still in shock, it's common to feel like the split came out of nowhere. Like one minute you're the adorbs couple everyone wants to be—and the next you're sitting home crying and watching The Notebook on repeat. Even if it feels like your BFFs don't understand, anyone who's gone through a breakup has been there. Even super-star Jenette McCurdy knows what it's like to feel blindsided by the end of relationship. Jennette and ex Andre Drummond were the cutest couple—constantly tweeting each other, and then next thing you know, they were totally dunzo.

How To Get Throught It: When you're still reeling from the shock of a split, it's easy to focus on all the great times you had together and ignore the bad. But remember, you didn't just randomly breakup. Regardless of who officially called it quits first, there was a reason you didn't work out. Try not to obsess over what happened or who did what; instead focus on what's next for you.

The Rebound-ship Stage

The Rebound-ship Stage

After dating the same person for awhile, you get used to having someone to hang out with all the time and text when you're bored, and it's tempting to fill that void by jumping into another relationship right away. The problem is your post-split judgement tends to be a little impaired, which means like Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, you might rebound with the first guy who flirts with you next—even if they're totally wrong for you. After splitting from Ian Somerhalder, Nina jumped into the arms of her BFF Julianne Hough's bro—Derek. While dating your bestie's bro could end in disaster when things go south, lucky for Nina it looks like even though her rebound-ship did last long, her friendship survived.

How To Get Through It: Adjusting to being single again is rough, but moving on too quickly can land you in the wrong relationship and lead to another breakup (or worse, the end of a friendship!).
